This one was taken after I had unpinned the brim from the block, and cut it to size, ready to be finished. I've put it back on the block to show that it really was from that block - it can be quite hard to tell for sure, because the block is upside down.
And the brim when off the block, and sitting the right way up. The dome piece behind the brim is the crown part of the capeline, cut from the centre of the brim, which is now sitting pinned to the block drying out, ready to be attached and finished next week.
The narrow strggly bit to the side of the brim is the off cut - I managed to choose a wide brim for my first go, meaning that it was a real effort to stretch the felt to the necessary size, and that I had hardly any left over.
Home work for this week is a sample file of stitching, and to finish the edge of my brim - and to start thinking about how to trim it - the really fun part! :o)
